    "This is a gem in south Alabama with the most perfect cold water to cool that Alabama heat. The cabins are more like FEMA trailers but they have some sort of AC."

    "I tried it but found it too cold even though August in Alabama is very hot. Campground seemed a little cramped but acceptable. Bugs became a real issue as the sun began to set."

    Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

    Caverns and Lagoon

    We were placed on the equestrian site with zero privacy. Never saw the other primitive sites, I guess they were full. Bathrooms were clean and the property was well maintain and far from the highway. Cavern tour was great but we loved the paddle through Blue Lagoon. Bring your kayak or rent one there, it's definitely worth it!

    Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

    Great Campground and a Cave to Explore!

    My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at our stay at Florida Caverns State Park. Although not a huge cavern such as Carlsbad or Mammoth, Florida Caverns did not disappoint.

    We found plenty to do at the park. We rode our bikes several miles on the many trails in the park and had a blast. Roots and rocks galore...but excellent mountain biking. The campsites are very nice with good bathroom facilities. The swimming hole rocks and the water is crystal clear. So much to do...mountain biking, hiking, swimming, geocaching (we found a cache), kayaking and even horseback riding.

    The cave tour was nicely done and we were impressed as there are some nice formations and the trail near the cave was amazing...a short hike that will give you an idea of what a Florida swamp looks like and you can view several sink holes and alternate cave entrances (closed off of course).

    Lot's of stuff if you are into horses...stalls, trails, corrals and a horse camp facility...pretty cool!

    Another great place to camp for all ages...beautiful, fun and perfect for families with children.

    This is "The Real Florida"

    Enjoy!

    Heart of Dixie Trail Ride

    Trails Horse/Atv

    This place has a lot of amenities pool, fishing, horse and atv trails that are great for beginner horseriders. Bathhouses are pretty nice cabins are great and affordable. Stalls or paddocks for your horses fresh water. Also has an arena to ride in. The camp sites don’t have a lot of shade but you can cool off in the pool. This is not a campsite in the deep woods it’s out in the open so don’t expect a woodsy feel although the trails make up for it they are well kept.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    A must stop on the way to the beach

    This is a gem in south Alabama with the most perfect cold water to cool that Alabama heat. The cabins are more like FEMA trailers but they have some sort of AC. Consider yourself glamping Alabama style and you will be fine

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    Family Fun Destination

    The main attraction in this state park is the spring fed pool. There is a lot of nice grassy areas plus a playground but everyone was in the water. I tried it but found it too cold even though August in Alabama is very hot. Campground seemed a little cramped but acceptable. Bugs became a real issue as the sun began to set. Come armed with repellant.

    Very well kept RV spot 2 miles south of the main cavern attractions but still within the park and walking distance to the blue hole spring. Not a lot of shade but plenty of space between neighbors. Clean bathrooms and shower facilities. Lots of hiking, biking trails.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    This is a great out of the way park.

    It is clearly an older park with not much recent love. It is clean but not perfect.

    The sites have older hookups but they are functional. The campsites are not level and some of them you have to guess where to put the trailer. We stayed on April 8& 9 (Thursday and Friday) and found it mostly empty! At night, the only sounds were the nature sounds of a very active forest.

    The springs are very pretty and great for a natural spring. We did not swim but were very impressed with the cleanliness of the water. 

    I would recommend staying here if you were close by. I would not drive that far out of my way for it. Great for a night or two.

    Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

    Great 2 day stop over.

    Great State Park. Facilities are great. Not a park for a lot of large RVs. Cavern’s were great to tour, good walking trails. Lots to do around the county. This area is all about outdoors. If you are traveling and need a stop over, this is a great option.

    Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

    Great park, great restaurants nearby

    We stayed here right after it reopened after damage from Hurricane Michael. The newly renovated campground is very nice, with water, electricity, and sewer hookups. The sites are nicely spaced and near a beautiful little lake called the blue hole. The restaurants we are at were delicious. One was Mashawy Grill right near the entrance to the park, and they had the best lamb chops! Then we are at Landshark Restaurant, which was about 13 miles away and had some of the best seafood we’ve ever had and we are used to good seafood as we are from Louisiana. The raw oysters were the best we’ve ever had and the fried crab claws and catfish were perfectly cooked and so good!
